For students attending a regular school, parental engagement impacts student achievement more
than many other factors. This impact on student achievement increases as parents take greater
ownership and interest in their child’s education. Within the literature examined, the most
important factor impacting student achievement was parental expectations. Locating education
in the home does not necessitate increased parental engagement as can be seen comparing the
results of distance education with homeschooling. For educators to increase parental
engagement, lessons may be learned from models of parenting intervention. During the COVID19 pandemic, the education of students moved from school buildings to homes where the roles of parents have increased and teachers are limited to communicating from a distance. This
increased reliance on parents in the education of their children can be viewed optimistically with the potential of positively impacting student achievement during a pandemic and, possibly, beyond. -
